CONGRATULATIONS on being sober for 100 days. It may be as simple as being what is called a "dry drunk" which occurs when you are not practicing a good program of recovery or something more complex like anemia or depression. You really need to discuss this with your doctor and have some blood work done.

We are here for ya and encourage you to take care of yourself. When a person is an alcoholic the first to go is the body then the mind, then the spiritual side of us, when you get sober the first part to return is the spiritual, then the mind, and last is the body or physical part of us, so give it time and don't hesitate to see the doc.
